for the record, i do not want the government involved in my faith. i also don't believe that my faith should be thrust upon you via a government entity.
that being said i've heard that having a cross with an officer's name on it is a breach of "the separation of church and state". i asked what part of the constitution or amendments specifically points out this "separation", once that part is found please explain how a cross that is not paid for or maintained with tax dollars breaches the separation.
i think the crosses are tacky and overdone so i'm not a big fan of them, but how do we get from point A) a family or group of families expresses their grief by putting up a memorial cross on the side of the road, to Point B) The US government is endorsing the Christian faith as the one true faith?
